Default Swaybar Recommendations?

I'd like to tighten up the handling of my SS and would appreciate any suggentions you may have for updated sway bars. This will be strictly street handling, I have no plans to autocross.

I have the SLP Eibach springs and Bilstein shocks coming from a GP on antother site.

The bars I have considered (but certainly am not limited to) are the SLP 1LE or the BMR models.

Suggestions?

I probably will go with the BMR parts (have had GREAT sucess with Brett's stuff), I was just wondering if there are better parts for my non-competition (well, autocross anyway...) application.

Thanks for your input!

Make sure you don't make the same mistake I did, if you have an SS, you already have the 1LE front sway bar. I just put the rear 1LE on and the car is more nuetral to oversteer in its balance.
